The Women’s Concert Chorale, one of six choral ensembles at UW-Eau Claire — “Wisconsin’s Singing University”— specializes in the study and performance of music written specifically for treble ensembles. The group is comprised of female students from many scholastic disciplines within the University. Women’s Concert Chorale performed their first international tour in March 2005 to the People’s Republic of China and toured South Africa in March 2009. The ensemble’s first CD We Are … WoCo was released in May 2005. Friendship in the study of literature written specifically for the uniquely beautiful sound of female voices and excellence in performance characterize the work and long tradition of the Women’s Concert Chorale.
